Shortly after the farmers' 'Delhi Chalo' march, over two weeks ago, authorities in this city started the process of partly reopening the Singhu and Tikri crossings with Haryana on Saturday, according to officials.
According to a Delhi Police officer, two service lanes are being established to facilitate vehicle traffic: one at the Singhu border and one at the Tikri border. Those traveling from Delhi to Haryana will find respite with the opening of the Singhu and Tikri crossings.
